I definitely want to see this chip turned into an Android car stereo, with the right screen and the right amplifier. I know it may sound overkill, but when you're using the maps app, spotify, car park cameras and other stuff, many "cheap" devices may let you down, crash apps, get slow... I would love to build one myself, but there are few singleboards that run android natively.

@@linuxization4205 I can see your question though. Its completely valid. Why use an ARM based system when there are more powerful systems that can do it better? I am just looking out for my power bill since I would actually use it a lot. I game on my PC a lot, but I dont really need a top of the line PC when I can use a cheap system like this for emulation. Especially if it can do PS2 emulation. I could have my PC shut down and only use a fraction of the wattage.

@ezforsaken Год назад

I would love to see something like this but with more ports (like 2.5g eth, pcie 4x slot, etc, all of these are supported by that chip). Video drivers are kind of a big thing here, currently we don't have great drivers that really take advantage of that gpu. It took a long time for the RK3399 to get proper open source drivers working, this is going to take quite some time as well IMO. Maybe next year we get improvements and better boards with more I/O

@marcusk7855 Год назад

Yeah the datasheet says the chip has 4 pcie lanes. But they have implemented them. Also can take ddr5 but they've gone with ddr4, and slow ddr4 at that.

@ezforsaken Год назад

fat chance. RPi still uses 4x A53 cores and the VC6 GPU barely improved over VC4 and don't mention how finnicky to get video acceleration running without customised Chromium/Firefox builds. Even if it works, there's still dropped frames. RPi's are cheap for a reason

@erikkarsies4851 Год назад

300 dollar on their website... not even comparable with a pi considering the -price.( the 8Gb is 200 dollar which makes that one cheaper than the ShieldTV !)

@Durandle Год назад

The current issue with all RK3588s based boards is that they’re limited to using the Android aimed branched kernel that RockChip maintain that is (as far as I know) way behind mainline. This limits support for things like Vulkan and less optimised OpenGL support. Luckily it seems mainline is having support added, which will open the door for way better distributions.

@MrSlowestD16 Год назад

Can't be too far behind if it's running 22.04. You can't use an ancient kernel with the latest & greatest Ubuntu packages/libraries/etc., because eventually you'll run into issues, like some library uses some feature that doesn't exist in such an old kernel. EDIT: As for OGL and Vulkan. As long as the drivers are up to date an older kernel shouldn't matter. I'm guessing RockChip writes the driver. Really depends when they're updated for the performance of those things. If the driver is just as old as the kernel then yeah, might get annoying that you're behind. But if the driver is pretty modern, just on an old kernel? Still sounds like a good deal.

@Durandle Год назад

@@MrSlowestD16 They have, AFAIK, merged updates and patches, so it's technically not that far behind, but means it's also not entirely "up to date", and being closed source means it's a gamble as to what may or may not be there and work. Its annoying, I wish they'd just push their stuff to mainline, but seems there's a dedicated group of people doing it for them so it'll get there.

I'd love to see a full emulation video on Ubuntu for this. I hate Android for emu boxes because there's inevitably going to be some config tweaks required and it's just a lot easier to crack open a terminal and have full filesystem access and no ro partitions or sandboxing or anything of that nature. The tweaking is a lot easier on a normal Linux desktop, IMO. But generally out-of-the-box Android performance is better, so there's that... But that PS2 perf is quite nice. Curious how something like this would stack up against the Jetson Nano - you have one of those, don't you? The Jetson Nano isn't well supported anymore since the next revision is coming out next year.
